Canada! Oh Canada! I love Canada! We were lucky to be in Victoria on Canada Day. It is like 4th of July for them! The streets were crowded by our hotel. The kettle corn was to die for! We went on a bike ride along the coast. It was so beautiful.
In Vancouver we also went on a bike ride through Stanley Park. It was 7 miles! The bike trail goes all along the water. The hotel we stayed at is called The Fairmont. It was an old hotel but very fancy! The hotel canine ambassadors that live at the hotel. They have beds next to the concierge. They are available for walks. My favorite one was Mavis. She was very soft and quiet. She wears a Louis Vuitton collar! Fancy!

We also met with our Canadian friends The Louies. We went to their house and it was super cool because it has an indoor pool. The house looks like it has ten floors but its really only 3! The two boys R and N are really nice and fun. They are super into art, photography, and architecture. We had such a good time hanging with them. I hope they come to California again so we meet up with them in our home town!

hope you keep reading…

    Hi Kenia,
    Wow, sounds like a fantastic trip so far. I/we love Canada too! We’ve stayed with the Louies and yes, their house is uber cool! They took us to Stanley Park too and well, it’s probably one of the prettiest places I’ve been to! I still remember that bike ride! If you see them again tell them the Regans say hello and miss them! 🙂
    Have fun!!!!!

    Hi Kenia – Vancouver is one of my favorite cities! Make sure you visit Granville Island. They have an awesome marketplace. Brian and I biked through Stanley Park and took a picture in the same spot as your family. We stayed at the Renaissance which is just down the street from you. Are there lots of Canadian geese in town? What do you think of Lion’s Gate Bridge?
    xoxo, Jen
